“Unleashing Brilliance: LG’s 2025 OLED TV Line Set to Redefine Home Entertainment with Cutting-Edge Brightness and Smart Gaming Tech!”

LG has stimulated the interest of attendees at this week’s CES in Las Vegas by unveiling its 2025 line of premium “Evo” OLED TVs — and once again, there appears to be more than enough innovative features in the latest M5 and G5 OLED series to keep film and gaming aficionados genuinely excited.

To begin with, both the OLED Evo M5 and OLED evo G5 series will feature LG’s new Alpha 11 Gen 2 processor, which LG asserts utilizes greater power along with significantly enhanced AI and machine learning functionalities to elevate picture and audio quality even further than 2024’s already highly praised G4 series.

The second-generation Alpha 11 processor can, for example, analyze and enhance low-resolution and inferior quality images with greater precision to deliver more natural and clear upscaling outcomes, while a new ‘Professional’ variant of LG’s highly regarded dynamic tone mapping system offers users and calibrators a fresh level of color and detail accuracy when adjusting HDR images for various viewing conditions.

On the audio front, the modern Alpha 11 processor now has the functionality to output all audio sources, including basic stereo, in a virtual 11.1.2 surround sound configuration, with purported enhancements in tonal balance and clarity compared to 2024’s virtual 9.1.2 setup.

Perhaps the most immediately noticeable indication of advancement from LG’s 2024 premium Evo OLEDs will stem from the enhanced brightness of the new M5 and G5 displays. A new Brightness Booster Ultimate system, which amalgamates the latest so-called ‘four stack’ OLED panel designs (featuring an extra OLED layer to boost brightness and efficiency) with advanced pixel color and illumination control thanks to the new Alpha 11 processor, is said to achieve brightness peaks that are three times greater than those attained by ‘standard’ OLED TVs like LG’s B series models.

LG has not specified an exact number of nits for the increased brightness of the new Evo OLEDs and emphasizes that it will only pertain to the 55, 65, 77, and 83-inch G5 and M5 screen sizes. However, based on last year’s B4s and G4s brightness performance, we might anticipate brightness around 1900 nits on a 10% window. And perhaps even more on smaller measurement windows.

LG emphasizes in its preliminary details about the 2025 Evo OLEDs that this additional brightness enhances visible detail at varying brightness levels, while maintaining OLED’s reputation for elite pixel-level light and color management. In fact, LG’s new Evo displays have obtained “Perfect Black” and “Perfect Color” validation from the independent evaluator UL Solutions — along with 100% color fidelity verification from Intertek, and “Quick Stability with Image Quality” certification from TUV Rheinland.

The M5 and G5 TVs additionally introduce the Ambient Light Compensation edition of the Filmmaker Mode to LG OLEDs for the first time, allowing the Filmmaker Mode’s accuracy-oriented settings to adapt in real-time to altering light conditions, guaranteeing that viewers receive a consistent HDR experience regardless of how bright or dark their surroundings are.

Gaming Advantage

The significant new gaming feature for LG’s 55, 65, 77, and 83-inch G5s adds support for 4K/165Hz variable refresh rate gaming signals (up from the previous 4K/144Hz limit), while the M5 series now supports wireless video transmission of gaming signals up to 4K/144Hz between their external connection boxes and their screens.

Both the M5 and G5 TVs can accommodate the Nvidia G-Sync and AMD FreeSync Premium VRR systems as well, becoming the first models to receive ClearMR 10000 certification by VESA as additional proof of their motion clarity and fluidity.

AI Advancements

As I anticipated in my article last year regarding the increasing application of AI in televisions, LG elaborates extensively in its information about its new Evo TVs and their AI capabilities. For example, the new AI Picture and Sound Wizard features claim to analyze over 1.6 billion image settings and 40 million audio profiles to assist users in customizing their audio and visual settings according to their personal preferences and requirements.

The newly introduced AI Remote included with the 2025 LG Evo TVs features a dedicated AI Button that navigates to a distinct AI Concierge home page where different users are addressed by name and presented with personalized recommendations based on their viewing behaviors. Additionally, if you press and hold the AI Button, it activates a new AI Voice ID feature that can recognize different household members’ voices and automatically switch to their personalized content recommendations and settings.

In certain regions (the U.S., U.K., and South Korea), a new AI Search feature on LG’s 2025 Evo TVs utilizes a Large Language Model to better comprehend conversation context and detect subtle user intents, with the process further optimized by access to Microsoft Copilot. Additionally, all regions will benefit from the latest iteration of LG’s excellent AI Chatbot feature, allowing the TV to troubleshoot any potential complications or inquiries regarding your LG TV without necessitating a call to LG customer support.

Lastly, on the AI feature front, a new Generative Image Gallery enables you to create custom background images simply by providing the software with a few fundamental image content terms to work with.

WebOS for the Future

The latest iteration of LG’s webOS smart platform now facilitates multi-platform integration with the Home Hub, permitting it to communicate with various ecosystems for the control of multiple IoT devices. LG is also persisting with its webOS Re:New initiative, where purchasers of the new Evo TVs can anticipate their webOS platforms being updated to new versions for up to five years.

As you may have gathered throughout this article, the primary distinction between the new M5 and G5 Evo OLED models is that the M5s are intended to be nearly entirely wire-free, utilizing an external connection/transmission box to wirelessly convey video up to 4K/144Hz and audio up to lossless Dolby Atmos to the screen.

The 83-inch G5 has received a CES 2025 Best of Innovation accolade, while the 83M5 has been honored in the Video Display category.

LG has not yet disclosed any pricing details for its latest Evo OLED TVs, but attendees at CES 2025 will be able to preview these new displays starting January 7 at booth 15004 in the Las Vegas Convention Center.
